On the Sichuan army position, the Japanese artillery shelling had just ended, and the little soldier Chen Shiyuan suddenly found that the entire lower body of Uncle Li who delivered the meal had been blown up, and he was still dead pressing the pot of rice under his body, so he went up and shook Uncle Li to cry, and Uncle Li was still out of breath, and he spat blood in a big mouth with one mouth...

This tragic scene occurred in March 1938, when the Japanese army began to attack Tengxian on the 16th, and also stepped up the attack on the Sichuan army defense line along the Longshan line of the Jiehe River. The officers of the Forty-first Army of the Sichuan Army suffered more than half of the casualties after many days of fighting, coupled with the interruption of transportation and communications in TengXian County, and the command was chaotic.

By noon on March 16, the positions on the first line of the Boundary River were gradually broken by the Japanese army, and our defenders retreated to Lincheng, and the troops defending Shenjing and Chitouji withdrew to Dajun.

The most difficult days were from the fourth day, when after three days of bloody fighting, the Sichuan army generals had fallen into a situation of running out of ammunition, the bullets were basically exhausted, only some grenades were left, there were bayonets and large blades, the devil's cannons at the foot of the mountain were exploding, and there were devils' planes bombing in the sky, and even the Japanese infantry who climbed the mountain on foot also had a lot of mortars and heavy machine guns that the Sichuan army did not have.

When the battle was at its most intense, it was impossible to shoot at all, because the old sleeves of the Sichuan Army would be hot after a long time, and it was very easy to explode the chamber when they fired again, so they could only watch the devils climb up and then rely on bayonets and grenades to shoot the devils again.

On the fifth day of the battle, Chen Shiyuan, a soldier of the Sichuan Army, was stabbed in the shoulder by a bayonet of the devil when he was fighting with the devil's bayonet, and there was a pain in the heart, but fortunately, his squad leader He Laoxin quickly cut down the devil from the side.

Before Chen Shiyuan could thank him, He Laoxin's head was exploded by stray bullets, and he fell straight to the ground, and he could only endure the pain and feel the last grenade to prepare to die with the devil.

Just when he was already ready to pull the strings, the "reinforcements" came up, it was the company that organized the cooking class and some wounded who could move around, and the "Fire Head Army" Uncle Li waved the flat burden that he usually used to pick vegetables and swept away at the devils, and there were few people left to attack the devils at that time.

After the battle, the Sichuan army on the position found that the entire company was basically wiped out, the yellow company commander was sacrificed, the three platoon commanders were killed twice and one was seriously injured, and the highest rank in the position was Yang Platoon Deputy.

But the surviving Chuanzhong disciples did not have time to grieve, and Uncle Li hurriedly bandaged Chen Shiyuan with a bandage, because the devil's bayonet was right in the position of his left shoulder socket, so his entire left arm could not move, leaving only one right hand.

He begged Uncle Li to help him unscrew the safety cover of the grenade, but Uncle Li refused, crying while saying that Chen Shiyuan was disobedient and had to be a combat soldier, and how good it was to cook with him in the cooking class.

Chen Shiyuan and Uncle Li are the longest to get along, it turned out that the relationship in the cooking class is very good, just became a soldier that will be naughty and mischievous to overturn the dish, cook the rice paste, Uncle Li is never angry, often said that he is a "heavenly stick"! (Sichuan dialect, meaning mischievous child)

After hastily cleaning the battlefield, Uncle Li picked up the rice, just brought the rice cooker out of the basket, the devils began to shell fiercely again, the soldiers hurried to hide, after the shelling, Chen Shiyuan suddenly found that Uncle Li was hit by a shell, the entire lower body was blown up, he was still dead under his body, he went up and shook Uncle Li crying, Uncle Li was not out of breath, a mouth spat blood.

When the other comrades-in-arms in the company saw this tragic situation, they couldn't help but pull Chen Shiyuan to cry together, the positions of the whole company were crying, the whole company had more than 80 people, and there were less than 20 sons of Chuanzhong left, all of whom were brothers who lived together day and night, and it was uncomfortable for anyone to be less, and now that they were basically dead, how could people not be sad?

Later, when cleaning up the battlefield, the soldiers moved Uncle Li's corpse away, his hand was still clutching the handle of the pot, people almost broke his fingers raw, only to separate, when the lid of the pot was opened, found that it was rice, but it was all red, stained red by his blood...

Later, a squad of a company was sent to the battalion to reinforce, and Chen Shiyuan was also dragged down the position because of his injuries, and that night he began to have a fever, and he was always groggy, and the brothers who were always sacrificed in the dream dangled in front of his eyes, and finally this wound took more than a month to heal.

When the battle of Longshan was carried out on the evening of the fifth day, the news came that Tengxian had fallen, and more than 3,000 sichuan army generals under Wang Mingzhang, commander of the 12nd Division, were martyred in Tengxian County.

After retreating from Longshan, Chen Shiyuan's troops went to the rear to rest, they had more than 80 people before the battle, only 5 were left after the fight, and even the cooking class was dead, which showed how fierce the battle was at that time!

The battle for the defense of Tengxian ended with the Sichuan army losing more than 10,000 troops, and although the Sichuan army suffered heavy losses, it also bought valuable time for the entire Fifth Theater of Operations and laid the foundation for the subsequent victory of Taierzhuang.

After Chen Shiyuan was injured, he was sent all the way to the hospital in Xuzhou, where he had been suffering from a fever because of the wound infection, and it took several days until he had completely recovered from the fever.

When he was able to walk on the ground, just in time to hear the news of the great victory of Taierzhuang, the field hospital was full of joy, but Chen Shiyuan could not be happy, although the victory was a happy event, but the losses of the Sichuan army were too great, the most tragic of course was the first and second divisions, they were under the leadership of Wang Shichang, all the divisions died in Teng County, and Chen Shiyuan's one-two-seventh division was also reduced by nearly two-thirds, basically losing combat effectiveness.

At that time, Chen Shiyuan could often hear about some deeds on the front line in the hospital, in fact, the defense battles of Longshan and Tengxian were fought almost at the same time, and the 1st and 2nd Divisions in Tengxian lacked heavy firepower like them, and could only rely on rifles and grenades to repel the attacks of the devils.

Although the 12nd and 2nd Divisions of the Dechuan Anti-Japanese Resistance were exhausted, the 12nd and 2nd Divisions played out the prestige of the Sichuan people, although they were small in stature, inferior in weapons, hungry and unclothed, but they also had the will to die to fight with the devils to the end, and they had the pride and bloodiness in the bones of the Bashu disciples! #战争风云 #
